Impression: I’ve walked by this brewery a few times and either it wasn’t open or I didn’t have time to stop. It’s on the 13-Brewery Trail so worth stopping if doing the walk. They now have expanded hours but it’s just an area of the brewery where you can buy and drink their beer onsite. There isn’t a restaurant or food. So, I was happy to see quite a few of their beers in a large Franconian beer store when shopping their recently. Since I mostly drink beer on tap, it was interesting to see the different breweries’ labels and Reh’s were nice. This one was perfect for Christmas with a small reindeer (reh). It poured with a massive head which lasted pretty well for a beer of 7.1% strength. It looked beautiful but I was disappointed by the faint malty nose. That said, it had a rich malty palate and was far less cloying than many of its south Bavarian counterparts. The finish was quite clean and nicely bittersweet.

I'm an American living in Munich. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found beerwanderers, a source of information on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for.
